Community. At Marquette, that word doesn’t just refer to the bustling scene on Wisconsin Avenue or the latest episode of alumnus Danny Pudi’s show on NBC. Our community extends across multiple social media channels, places for prospective students, current students and alumni to interact.

Life at Marquette

There's no denying a lot of living goes on in Marquette's residence hall communities, which often set the scene for lifelong friendships and favorite college memories. Students who live on campus — and that includes 93 percent of freshmen — tend to get better grades, participate in more extracurricular activities and have more satisfying college experiences than commuting students. We suspect that's because these communities embody the university's mission of excellence, faith, leadership and service, all qualities that will teach you to Be The Difference.
